June 17, 1985 Kimmelman Directive
Dear New Jersey Attorney General's Office,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Irwin Kimmelman issued directive, dated June 17, 1985, mandated semi-annual firearms
requalification, provided an explanation of Tennessee v. Garner and outlined the firearms
requalification program. That program included requirements for requalification with both
service and off-duty weapons, along with requirements for systematic record keeping of
qualifying scores.
Yours faithfully,
Jay Factor
Good afternoon.
Regarding your request under the common law, please be advised that OAG is unable to locate a copy of the requested directive. Your request under the common law is therefore denied and closed.
Please note that pursuant to regulation, N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2, submission of Open Public Record Act (OPRA) records requests by email to the Department of Law and Public Safety is not permitted. N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2.4(a) states: "Written Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests shall be hand-delivered during normal business hours of the public agency, mailed or submitted electronically to the appropriate division or agency custodian of records over the Internet by means of a web-enabled OPRA request form [.] Submission of requests by e-mail or facsimile transmission is not permitted." Pursuant to this regulation, divisions within the Department of Law & Public Safety are not able to accept emails as valid OPRA requests for access to government records. For future requests under OPRA, you may instead submit your request through the State’s online form, located at: https://www-njlib.state.nj.us/NJ_OPRA/de.... Select "Law and Public Safety." Next, select "Office of the Attorney General." If you do not wish to use the online form, you may instead mail in a written/paper request or mail in a completed records request form. I have attached a blank records request form. The mailing addresses for the various Records Custodians of the Department of Law & Public Safety can be found on page 2 of the form.
